Hello Everyeone

Post by Ridgeppv »

Just bought a 2014 Caprice 6.0L 2 days ago. Ex Sheriff car in southern Indiana. So far I made it true dual exhaust and fixed the rear door handles so you can open it from the inside. Plan on a DOD delete with a cam swap over the winter. Vehicle is in great shape for 75,000 miles. Thank you everyone!

Welcome to the group! What type of dual exhaust did you go with? Custom? Good luck with your future mods

Exhaust is custom. I cut out the mid muffler and the 2 resonators and just welded in 2 straight pipes. Sounds a little better but still very restricted

Welcome! Nice looking Caprice and no push bar holes neither.

For the restrictive exhaust, I concur that opening it up nets good gains. I went to long tube headers and 3" system and after a tune, got to 400HP with no other mods (DOD is just disabled). It is the most restrictive at the cat so that's where you'll get the most gains.

That pretty good for just the headers back! I plan on that as well when I do the cam swap. Just need to to get the HVAC working

Welcome & enjoy!

Thanks
